In the UK, holding a Palestine flag can get you arrested but building a racist bonfire stacked with effigies of refugees gets you council funding and police protection
A large bonfire structure made from stacked wooden pallets stands in an open area, surrounded by fencing. On top of the pallets is a black model boat containing several human-shaped effigies wearing orange life jackets, resembling migrants. Attached to the pallets are banners reading “STOP THE BOATS” and “VETERANS BEFORE REFUGEES.”
